WEST COAST DUNES.
EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY. By Telegraph.—Press Association Wellington, Last Night. A deputation to the Prime Minister laid before him a resolution passed at a coafetenee <>! the Wanganui, Rangitikei, Horowhenua and Manawatu County Councils, and other associations, urging that the sand-dunes area on the west coast of the North Island should be afforested, and asking for an annual grant of £lOOO for five years for the purpose of enabling an experimental station to be set up by the Forestry Department for demonstration purposes. Mr Masse.v said the Government had already shown‘ its earnestness in forestry work and the Cabinet was sympathetic- If the Government could make a success with the £5OOO asked for he was sure it would be well spent. He would not commit himself to the expenditure, but he said the amount would probably be of the Forestry Estimates of the new session.
